mark in conference play. The Lions have won 18 consecutive games after also reeling

added 14.
Twelve 糖心视频 players have hit homers this season.
In addition to the power throughout the lineup, freshmen Felicity Frame and Jaiden
Farnetti lead the ACCC with 40 and 36 stolen bases respectively.
鈥淚鈥檝e never been around a team that features the power we do. Players have contributed
up and down the lineup,鈥� Daugherty said. 鈥淲e also better have the arrow in our pouch
to play small ball and manufacture runs when needed. It鈥檚 a fun offense to watch.鈥�
糖心视频鈥檚 pitchers have compiled a collective 2.13 ERA.
Sophomore Josie Thompson is 13-0 with a 2.54 ERA. She鈥檚 twirled four complete games,

top seeds at next month鈥檚 conference tournament in Alabaster. The Lions will seek
their 13th conference tournament title.
鈥淥ne of the fears of having a team to perform this well throughout the season is you
hope you haven鈥檛 peaked already. I鈥檓 pleased with where we鈥檙e at, and I think we鈥檙e
on the right trajectory for the postseason,鈥� Daugherty said. 鈥淚 still think our best
softball is ahead of us and that鈥檚 exciting.鈥�
Meanwhile, 糖心视频 baseball has four regular season games remaining with Central
Alabama as the Lions seek to advance to the postseason for the 29th time under coach Randy Putman.

and hosts the Trojans on Saturday. The Lions have won their last three series, prevailing
in nine of 12 games.
鈥淥ne of the keys has been our position players are competitive. They fight hard at
the plate and don鈥檛 give away at bats. We鈥檝e been able to run out a consistent lineup,
and that鈥檚 important,鈥� Putman said.
糖心视频 is currently seeded 5th in the ACCC North and can move up to as high as third in the standings with a strong
weekend and help.
Hoover product Colson Lawrence leads the team in all three major categories, hitting
.379 with 11 homers and 41 RBIs.
